This document provides information about Raven's Progressive Matrices, a nonverbal group test used to measure abstract reasoning and fluid intelligence. It consists of a series of visual patterns with one part missing, and requires the test-taker to determine the missing element of the pattern. The test gets progressively harder as it continues. It was originally developed by John C. Raven in 1936 and is currently published by Pearson PLC. There are three versions for different ability levels: Standard, Colored, and Advanced.

7. Raven's Progressive Matrices (often referred to simply
as Raven's Matrices) or RPM is a nonverbal
group test typically used in educational settings.
It is usually a 60-item test used in measuring abstract
reasoning and regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid
intelligence.

8. Raven’s matrices is a nonverbal ability test used to
assess abstract reasoning.
The test is progressive in the sense that questions get
harder as the test progresses.
The task is to determine the missing element in a
pattern which is generally presented in the form of a
matrix, hence the name Raven’s matrices.
The tests were originally developed by John C. Raven
in 19361 and are currently licensed by Pearson PLC.

9. Versions
The matrices are posed in three different forms for participants of different
ability:
Standard Progressive Matrices: These were the original form of the
matrices, first published in 1938. The booklet comprises five sets (A to E) of
12 items each (e.g., A1 through A12), with items within a set becoming
increasingly difficult, requiring ever greater cognitive capacity to encode and
analyze information. All items are presented in black ink on a white
background.
Coloured Progressive Matrices: Designed for younger children, the
elderly, and people with moderate or severe learning difficulties, this test
contains sets A and B from the standard matrices, with a further set of 12
items inserted between the two, as set Ab. Most items are presented on a
coloured background to make the test visually stimulating for participants.
However the very last few items in set B are presented as black-on-white; in
this way, if a subject exceeds the tester's expectations, transition to sets C,
D, and E of the standard matrices is eased.
Advanced Progressive Matrices: The advanced form of the matrices
contains 48 items, presented as one set of 12 (set I), and another of 36 (set
